I am a student of nature and all of its beauty–that is why I chose glass fusion as my primary medium to create home, yard and wearable art. I love the reflections of glass and the colors just as water reflects and captures the intensity of a sunrise or sunset. My background consists of being a professional calligrapher, corporate graphic artist, and a web developer, so glass is just part of my DNA as a learning/teaching artist. I started several years ago by using scraps of glass, and continue to save, reuse, re-purpose glass even in my classes I am currently teaching. Each year, I take advanced glass fusion art education, and then share and collaborate with others. Glass fusion is fun and part of my journey as an artist and as a person.
